When
Fraser Claughton, a 41 year old car insurance underwriter from
Tinkerton, England, purchased a ratty suitcase in an Australian flea
market, he received much more than he bargained for.

Inside
the suitcase, which Claughton paid roughly $36 for, were old photos of
The Beatles, concert programs and tapes labeled “Abbey Road…not for
release.” The tapes contain over four hours of new song versions and
new session recordings. On the tapes are new versions of “We Can Work
It Out” and “Cry Baby Cry” as well as a new song, “I’m in Love.” The
new song was never released by The Beatles, but was released by another
band from Liverpool - The Fourmost. Executives at Apple, The Beatle’s
record label, have yet to listen to all of the new material to
authenticate it.

People speculate the suitcase may have belonged to the late Mal Evans,
who was a roadie and recording engineer for the band. Evans was killed
in 1976 by Los Angeles police for brandishing a fake gun; many of his
belongings were lost in the police investigation.
